Rick Ross joins cast of Mike Epps comedy

Rapper Rick Ross is expanding his acting resume by starring alongside comedian Mike Epps in new film The House Next Door.

The movie will serve as a sequel to Epps' 2016 release Meet the Blacks, with the Aston Martin Music hitmaker joining a cast which already includes funnyman Katt Williams, Danny Trejo, and Michael Blackson.

Epps will reprise his role as best-selling author Carl Black for the follow-up, which follows his adventures as he moves his family back to his childhood home, reports Deadline.com.

Production on The House Next Door is currently underway in Atlanta, Georgia.

Ross made his acting debut in 2008's Days of Wrath, and has since followed it up with appearances in TV series Magic City in 2013, and an uncredited cameo in Kevin Hart and Ice Cube's Ride Along 2 last year (16).
